Self-host n8n with Docker (no code) on your computer and a VPS

A screen by screen walkthrough of standing up your own n8n instance, first locally then on a VPS, without needing to be a sysadmin. If the docs feel abstract, watching someone do it end to end removes the fear. By the end you have a running instance that connects tools for the cost of the server.

  • No prior server experience assumed
  • Ends with a working instance you can build workflows on
